Lala Kent doesn’t care if Vanderpump Rules fans like her or hate this season amid her growing criticism of co-star Ariana Madix.
On the latest episode of her Give Them Lala podcast, the 33-year-old straight up told fans she doesn’t care if they like her not.
She also encouraged fans to write to her voicing their issues with her as she doesn’t care what they think since she doesn’t know them at all.
“Guys, I love you so much, but if you’re thinking about writing me some hate like, don’t waste your time, please. Short and sweet. Do something more productive because I truly don’t care. Truly,” Lala Kent said.
She continued, ”Like, if you used to love me and you don’t this season, I don’t care. Go volunteer at the human society.”
“I don’t live my life based on what you think. I don’t know you. I love you. I’m sending you all the love. Good luck,” she added.
This bold statement left some Vanderpump Rules fans scratching their heads. In fact some noted that if Lala doesn’t care what fans think then why did she turn off the comments on some of her social media posts.
“When you don’t care but shut down your social media replies ..the grifter vibes of it all,” one fan commented.
“But yet she limits her comments and will spend the rest of the time on her podcast talking about it and laughing as if she doesn’t girl please you’re doing so much for a little bit and we can tell,” someone else wrote.
“She will if her podcast gets cancelled and no more Amazon influencer deals anymore lol,” a third fan commented while a fourth added, “She kinda has to care because if no one likes her anymore she doesn’t have a job anymore.”
Another fan noted: “Is Lala independently wealthy? Because once that VPR check is gone, she’s going to care.”
“Lala should be careful. She’s alienating the fans that buy her products and listen to her shows. Lol,” someone else wrote in agreement.
This all comes after Lala began receiving pushback from fans for her criticism of Ariana Madix amid her interactions on the show with ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.
On recent episodes of Vanderpump Rules, Lala has shown a lack of empathy towards Ariana as she attempts to navigate her new normal with Sandoval – as they film the show and continue to live together only three months post-breakup.
Lala insists that she never expected Ariana to just “get over” Sandoval’s cheating and notes that Ariana’s resentment towards him is completely warranted. However, she thinks there is a disconnect between Ariana’s words and actions.
“I get it. You’re allowed to not let it go and go insane on him. Got it,” Lala said on the April 3 episode of her podcast. “The problem I’m having here is you’re using all of these words that I very much feel; I can literally sit here and have empathy because I’ve felt those same things. The difference here is you choose to stay in the house. And everyone can say [Tom] should have left. I agree, but we now know who Tom Sandoval is.”
“So let’s not sit here and be like, I can’t believe [Tom] wouldn’t move out. He’s shown who he is,” she continued. “So now we have to take control of the things we can control, which are ourselves. If he’s making you feel this way and you’re staying in the house, I got questions.”
She then threw some additional shade at Ariana, claiming that she was nervous going into season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
Lala explains she was worried about producers making the main focus of the show the aftermath of Sandoval and Ariana’s split as Ariana has “never brought anything” to the series.
“I think that’s another reason I was very nervous going into this season — knowing that our main story — this year, it was the aftermath of Tom and Ariana,” Lala shared. “I’m sitting here going, ‘Our main storyline is lying in the hands of someone who has really never brought anything to this show and I’m f*cking concerned.’”
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
